Mythological origin of ayurveda

Brahma, the creator of Universe composed ayurveda and taught to his son Daksha. He then passed on the science to Ashwini twins and then to Indra,  the king of God’s.  There are many stories in Hindu mythology regarding the practice of Ayurveda and Surgery. 
But the humans in the earth was suffering from severe illness and pain for which nobody could find any effective remedy. Hence many great sages of during that period gathered upon in the valley of Himalayas to find a solution for this problem. Three sages among them decided to be the volunteers for the quest of reliable remedy to heal humanity. They decided to approach Indra for this. That was the moment when Lord Indra showered his blessings upon us by passing on the science of healing called Ayurveda to the great sages to alleviate suffering on the mortal plane.
